<br />An initial step that the City can take in the downtown area is to conduct an inventory of existing
<br />building conditions. Each building would be classified as standard, substandard, or dilapidated. A standard
<br />condition is defined as a building with few or no visual defects, and any defects that do exist are considered
<br />minor. A building with a substandard condition requires repair that is typically not within the regular
<br />course of maintenance and upkeep, such as rotted awnings, cracked foundations and deteriorating mortar.
<br />These repairs are of an intermediate nature. The final condition category is dilapidated, which is defined as
<br />a building with major structural defects. Once this infonnation is assembled, City staff can then detennine
<br />which blocks have a disproportionate share of deteriorated buildings and where rehabilitation needs are
<br />greatest.
<br />
<br />It is also important to document those buildings that have been renovated, are well maintained,
<br />have unusual architecture, or otherwise add to the appearance of the downtown area. Some structures might
<br />fall into this category if renovations \\'ere made.
